....and final part, thank g for anyone that hates this kind of posts.  20150622_083337

SO, after we ate all day Saturday and wandered all day Sunday, we had a little more time before I came home, BUT Jay did have to work a little bit.  We also had Jay's coworker with us starting on Monday at lunchtime, which was great because we don't really like each other all that much.  

Not really.  

Monday early for breakfast (Before Jay had to start working) we went to Snooze, which EVERYONE had recommended to us.  Strangers on planes, the internet, friends who had been to visit AND who lived in Denver - not one person that we asked didn't mention this restaurant.  So, to Snooze we went!  

And thank goodness, because it was SO good that we went back on Tuesday for breakfast before I got on the plane, no joke.  Our server was great and we let her know that we were sharing things and wanted to try lots, so she recommended lots of things for us to try.  We settled on wpid-20150622_084601-01.jpeg

Then, because we are lucky in food, our waitress brought us a pineapple upside down pancake to share and that MIGHT have been our favorite dish of the entire weekend.  But I can't really decide so...everything was my favorite.  

Since we liked it so much, we took Jay's coworker there the next morning and ordered different food.  I ordered a la carte with chorizo, a pancake, hash browns, and fruit, and ate about ⅔ of it because PREGNANCY.  Truthfully, I could have eaten it all but we needed to get in the car for my flight.  Jay ordered the Snooze version of the BLT breakfast sandwich and absolutely loved it.  So, no matter what you order, you'll be super happy at this place.  The pancakes were just insanity.  20150623_083015

But, back to Monday!  After our huge breakfast Jay had to work for a little while, and then we met Geoff for lunch and to head back into Denver for some playtime.  For lunch we landed at 20150622_132814

I have nothing to tell you other than DON'T judge the atmosphere when you walk into Le Central.  It's a little...dinky...I guess would be how you'd describe it, and the clientele could only be described as sparse and elderly when we walked in.  BUT, the service is excellent and the food was amazing, so why the place wasn't completely packed is anyone's guess.  Go here, seriously.  

After lunch we headed to Epic, another brewery, this one actually based in Salt Lake City with a Denver location, to try some beers and watch some soccer, and we loved it.  Epic was in a cool industrial area near some random artsy places, food truck stops, and other breweries, so it was fun to see a different area of Denver and relax in the brewery, which had a really modern feel with high ceilings and lots of space.  I drank a few samples of beer and about a gallon of water and loved every minute of it.  

Then we hit the hotel for dinner that night because we were TIRED and also the guys wanted the late-night happy hour that involved $5 versions of Moscow Mules, and boyyyy did they ever enjoy those.  Then we slept for a million hours and repeated breakfast the next day at Snooze, and then I had to get my happy butt back on a plane home.  

And that, my friends, was Denver.  And I already want to go back.  Babies can go to dispensaries, right?
